Description: Calculates optimization-based balancing weights for causal
        inference, including entropy balancing, inverse probability
        tilting, the covariate balancing propensity score, energy
        balancing, characteristic function distance balancing, and
        stable balancing weights. Weights target covariate balance
        directly by solving a convex optimization problem, with support
        for binary, categorical, and continuous exposures across a
        range of causal estimands. A Rust core provides the numerical
        solvers.
